Using Ounie
Connectors
Saving and asking should happen where you already are. Connect Ounie to your phone, your browser, your AI client, and your chat apps.
iOS app#
The native iOS app gives you the full product on your phone — create brains, upload photos, videos, files, and audio, save links and notes, and ask questions with citations. It adds on-device voice capture (live dictation and record-then-transcribe, kept on the phone) and a Share Sheet extension so you can save from any other app with Save to Ounie. The app is in App Store review; in the meantime you can try the TestFlight beta.
Chrome extension#
The Chrome extension saves the page you are on, clips the main article to clean text, or saves just your selection. It keeps highlights that re-appear when you revisit a page, offers a distraction-free reading view, and gives you an editable preview before saving. Sign in with your Ounie account or an API key. See the extension page for install steps.
AI clients (MCP)#
Plug a brain into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI clients over MCP. Your assistant can list your brains, ask grounded questions, save notes and links, and pull raw context to reason over itself. Web clients sign in with one click; desktop clients use an API key or the official npm package. Full setup is in the MCP guide.
ChatGPT app#
Ounie is available as an app inside ChatGPT. Once connected, you can pick a brain, search your sources, save notes and links, and ask grounded questions without leaving the conversation — answers come back with citations, and saves and search results render as inline cards. Add it from the ChatGPT apps directory, or connect it as a custom connector and sign in with one click.
Slack#
Add Ounie to a Slack workspace and link your account once. Save any message with the Save to Ounie shortcut, capture links or text with /ounie save, and ask with /ounie ask. Mentioning the bot in a channel answers only to you, so a personal brain never spills into the room. Asking uses your normal daily allowance. Connect it from Settings → Slack.
Discord#
Add Ounie to a Discord server and link your account once. Save any message with Save to Ounie from the Apps menu, capture text or links with /ounie save, and ask with /ounie ask — answers come back with their sources. Replies are ephemeral, so a personal brain stays visible only to you, and /ounie brain sets where captures land. Asking uses your normal daily allowance. Connect it from Settings → Discord.
Telegram#
Link your account to the official Ounie bot once, then send it messages and links to save them, or ask a question to get a grounded, cited answer back. No per-user setup and no keys — link, then capture or ask from anywhere you have Telegram. Connect it from Settings → Telegram.
